Russian Hill hosts this sophisticated spot, a venture of former Andalu chef Ben de Vries, which quickly became both a neighborhood favorite and a dining destination for the city's tastemakers. The rich hues of chocolate and wine set off…

Banana Republic casting call meets sleek, organic-chic Russian Hill eatery. Will it be Botox or Bordeaux tonight? Wines by the glass, chartreuse banquettes, lowlit ambience makes for girls-night-out glow. Bone marrow butter and Coca-Cola braised pork shoulder should clue you in to not very Karl Lagerfeld–sized portions. Smoker in chef whites on the curb is the owner. Nice guy with stressful...

A charming Russian Hill eatery serving rich Mediterranean fare.

Tips about this business (3)

What to Drink

Sip a reasonably priced wine from southern Europe or California. Beer lovers will enjoy Belgian Chimay.

Parking

Finding a street spot in this 'hood is next to impossible. Go with $10 valet parking in front of the Old Alhambra Theatre (on Polk, between Green and Union streets). Staff will even drive you to Luella's front door.

Where to Sit

On a sunny day, reserve an outside table. Groups of around six will be most comfortable reserving the restaurant's lone booth.
